Take it from a Leeds fan, don't do this.

what have leeds got to do with saints losing. All in all for a neutral iy=t was a good game spoiled by a weak referee, but he was not biased.

It's an internet forum it's going to happen.

In the end most Saints fans have no problem with Royce and there will be no pushing him out, we don't sack coaches before the end of contract unless they are disciplinary.

My major concern is the back on the bench. I think Royce has shown he is flexible enough to move big name players to the bench or to the non-playing squad.

The rugby we play is sterile to say the least.If you analyse our tries,most start within 30 metres of the opposition's line on the back of penalties.How many times did we break the line tonight?Simmons reign will end the same as Potter's-trophyless.

Nice to see it's not just the Leeds fans who are complete 'fekwits'.

He got us to a grand final in an injury ravaged season, yes hes the man for the job

A big change round in personnel is required at the end of the season (including the coach).

I suppose the question is right man for what????

It's very early and we are still going well even with this loss, league wise. Many other teams will fall to Catalan.

I don't think Royce will turn Saints into a bottom of the league side.

Will he win stuff????? His rotation would suggest he is end loading the season, but if we can't sure up the defence, it could be too little to late. Not every team can do a Leeds each year? It would only have taken one game, one goal kick for the Leeds season go from being a champion team to a team outside the top 4. Winning is everything, but for Leeds and the Coach it was the definition of that, from a disappointing season to a glorious season in a few games.
